Also, the Nets are 100% this year's Lakers. They are going to implode. And perhaps even more spectacularly because Kevin Garnett is bat **** insane. Paul Pierce might retire in the middle of the year.

Garnett just looks absolutely finished. His intensity is fine when he's one of the best players in the game, but at this point it's just kind of sad. Pierce still has a little bit of game left, but it's clear that his heart isn't there. He would have much rather preferred to finish his career in Boston, even if they weren't contending for anything. These guys already have their ring and I'm convinced that staying in Boston was more important to them than chasing another ring somewhere else as role players. But they didn't have much choice. Well technically KG did, but he wasn't going to stay in Boston without Pierce.

Like I said a week or so ago, I'll still an analogy Bill Simmons used with Jason Alexander. Watching Pierce and Garnett in Brooklyn would be like watching Matthew Perry and Matt LeBlanc boss people around the set of some lame sitcom in their mid 40's.

What if someone from a school of business or management school were to ask, How did you do this? How did you get the Pacers turned around? Is there a general approach you've taken that can be summarized?

No lol. He was talking about an old vet looking out of place one time and said it would be like watching Jason Alexander boss someone around the set of some crappy sitcom. I think it's in his book. I'm just ripping his analogy and tweaking it a bit to my liking.

Wow. Toronto up 12 at Memphis three and a half minutes before the end of the game. What really happened there? Did they stop having that great defensive mentality they had under their previous HC?

If you have a chance to run, run against Memphis on every single opportunity. From our match they were slow on the transition D

Yes, there "D" has gone down hill now that Lionel has left. Throw in that Prince isn't the SF they need. I believe they have a better bench this year, but if your starters aren't playing as they have in the past it hurts.
